How the SL185028 model number is decoded

envelope 140×210×95 mm with a 35.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 770 kN and C0 1330 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.58 the 95 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 180 kN, the limiting speed 1,820 r/min and the thermal reference speed 1,180 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 5.50 kN per millimetre of the 140 mm bore and 8.11 kN per millimetre of the 95 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 11.1 kg (11100 g) (0.56 g per mm² of the 210×95 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 140 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 210 mm outside diameter, 95 mm width and 11.1 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases The SL1850 tolerates no angular misalignment — the two roller rows distribute load only when shaft and housing axes are parallel, so housing bore alignment is a mounting requirement The semi-locating SL1850 structure uses inner-ring ribs with a retaining ring on the flangeless side; it carries high radial loads plus axial load in one direction, which is why it often pairs with an SL0149 locating bearing Typical applications include marine and offshore winch arrangements, rope drums and winch drums and hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, where the 210 mm outside diameter and 770 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In marine and offshore winch arrangements the unit fits a compact 140 mm seat, and in rope drums and winch drums the 11.1 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps, relying on the 95 mm width and the published 1330 kN static rating. There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact. C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • planetary gear bearing positions
  • hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps
  • compact slow-speed agitator drives
  • crane travelling-wheel mechanisms

Known failure patterns

  • raceway pitting from overloaded slow-speed positions where the cageless rollers repeatedly stress one contact band
  • rib and roller-end scoring when applied axial thrust exceeds the semi-locating capacity
  • roller smearing from roller-to-roller sliding at speeds above the limiting value
  • edge loading and premature spalling caused by undetected shaft/housing misalignment (full-complement rows cannot self-align)
  • brinelling of the raceways from static shock during mounting or transport of the heavy rotor
  • lubricant starvation in the tightly packed roller set, especially in the double-row executions
  • freting and creep on a loose ring seat under a rotating load
  • contamination wear in open gearbox positions with damaged seals or breathers
  • false brinelling from micro-movement while the shaft is stationary under vibration

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact.
  • C0 is the number that tempts overload in slow machinery, but fatigue life is still governed by the dynamic C rating and lubricant film.
  • The bearings cannot accommodate angular misalignment; check shaft and housing parallelism before blaming the bearing for edge spalling.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the SL185028?

The SL185028 is a SL1850 double-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing with 210 mm outside diameter, 140 mm bore and 95 mm width, envelope 140×210×95 mm. Mass is 11.1 kg.

What does the SL185028 designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

SL185028 identifies this SL1850 double-row full-complement semi-locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 140×210×95 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 770 kN, C0 1330 kN, Cur 180 kN.

What is the load capacity of the SL185028?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 770 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 1330 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 180 kN.

What is the maximum speed of the SL185028?

The limiting speed is 1,820 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 1,180 r/min. In the Schaeffler catalogue the reference speed is the thermally permissible running speed under defined load; the lower of the two values governs each application.

What is the locating function of the SL185028?

The SL1850 is semi-locating: it carries axial load in one direction and permits the catalogue s-displacement in the other.
